The FIFA calendar runs from September 1st through the 11th, making his absence on the club level a certainty. However, the Copa Centroamericana is set from the 3rd to the 13th., putting Miller in a precarious position for the Red Bulls’ August 31st away date against rival D.C. United, and eliminating him completely from the team’s September 6th date against Sporting K.C. and a September 10th home tilt against D.C.. Six of the seven teams go on to the final day of the tournament, putting Miller in a bind if Costa Rica advance to either the third, second or first place matches. New York take on Philadelphia on the 13th.

In a worst case scenario, that would be four matches without arguably New York’s most reliable defender.

Here is the Costa Rican roster, followed by a schedule of dates for the Copa:

Saturday, September 13, 2014 – Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA
6:00pm Third Place Group A vs. Third Place Group B
9:00pm Second Place Group A vs. Second Place Group B
12:00am First Place Group A vs. First Place Group B
